we went to the zoo yesterday; I was brave and took my camera with me; I don't often take my camera if we venture out in the city - - it seems to attract a lot of attention, which is exactly what everyone tells me not to do if I can help it (ha! as if I'm not already attracting attention just by taking my children out with me!)

So I'm wondering (eesh! Am I really saying this?) if I should use that birthday money that I've been saving, to . . . buy another camera;
Something smaller
that I can take out with me
into busy public spaces?

Do any of you have a point and shoot that you are crazy about? please tell me about it! Rant and rave about it, and tell me what you love about it . . . please?

I used my nikon coolpix in the Dominican Republic and loved it. I couldn't carry a big camera in my bag - just too bulky and heavy. Plus, I wanted to be less conspicuous. I will be posting pics soon - so you can see if you think it will work. I love you! I miss you! There was a sweet Americana with flats, a skirt, and a scarf and a cute swirly bun at church in Jarabacoa. I never got to meet her (she's not with our mission group) but I had to repress the urge to give her a hug.

I am Naomi.

I live in Mexico city - where I eat tacos as often as I can, hunt for beauty in the chaos (because beauty IS here . . . I just have to work hard to see it), and thank God every single day that my little apartment has such big windows.
